Wood Trick Wooden Mechanical Tractor Model Kit to Build for Adults and Kids - 11x7″ - Detailed and Sturdy - Rubber Band Motor - 2 Speeds - 3D Wooden Puzzle

This assembled pretty good with the primary difficulties being a helter-skelter parts layout on the boards A related build step had parts located on multiple boards in no conceivable order. A prime example is on page 53. The parts needed for this srep were located on boards 4, 5 and 6. 22 on board 4, and 1 each on boards 5 and 6. This occurs quite frequently throughout the build. And yes, the toothpicks take a lot of sanding to hit a happy medium to fit I don't expect an easy build, the fun is in the challenge but these 2 issues aren't related to a build challenge. All in all, this was a fun build, snug fittings that wax can solve. I still recommend and award 5 stars. My above issues didn't occur with UGears kits I've built.

I ordered this for my sister's baby shower and because this was one of the many things needed for the event, I contracted my husband to build it. He was not disappointed! I have never seen anything like this before and I have to say the quality and attention to detail is impressive. Difficulty level is on the higher side, but I say that due to the attention to detail required. Everything is very well organized and the instructions are detailed and easy to follow. One small thing to note; the toothpicks, wax and sand paper may be adequate if you are careful and keep track of usage, but do yourself a favor and get a small pack of fine grit sandpaper (husband says 220 works fine), good quality toothpicks and extra wax (softer wax works better). Also, a hobby knife helps, but some scissors will work too. Anyways, back to the tractor. It's awesome! Very detailed and my husband wants to get one of his own. So, if you like a challenge or are looking for a different type of model build, I highly recommend.

I had gotten this for my Grandpa for Christmas. He absolutely loved it. I put everything together for him. This does take a lot of time to put together, but it was well worth it.

This one certainly is a higher challenge. There are many moving parts. For it to actually work, take A LOT of time to sand all sides of each part. I went to 1500 grit to get the parts moving well. I like how the instructions show which nest the part is in. It’s easy to follow. The pieces are all cut well and broke away easily. Watch out on the fenders as the instruction doesn’t say to do them in mirror. I suggest using small side cutters to trim the toothpicks and keeping some needle nose pliers handy.

This is a fun project for those who are willing to sand, wax, and put some time into a project. I unfortunately either didn't sand enough or wax the moving parts enough and the wind up feature doesn't work. The other moving parts function and described. Overall the project was fun and challenging if someone in your family is craft oriented and likes tractors this on is a great choice.

Appreciate direction given in both forms

perfect gift

To have patience and sandpaper on hand. You have to sand or file most parts some to be able to fit together. I love doing these wood projects.
